Cade is my little athletic kid. He loves any sport and is good at almost everything he tries. Right now he is really into basketball. Over the last week or so he has taught himself to dribble. Anytime there is a ball in his hand he tries to dribble it. He has actually gotten really good. Cade has always loved to shoot baskets on his little goal. He continues to get farther and farther away. Today he was playing and I took a little video so you could see how good he has gotten. This was the first try, too! :)

Rodeo fun 3-11-10
Matt and I took the boys out to the rodeo last Wednesday to ride some rides, play some games, eat too much and see Rascal Flatts. They love the Cars movie, so they just wanted to hear Life Is A Highway.
The first ride we rode was the ferris wheel. The kids loved riding it and seeing what rides were close so we could ride them next. Matt and Cade were in the seat behind us so is also became a big game of "Hi Daddy...Hi Mommy....I see you!"
Reid saw this ride while on the ferris wheel and was set on riding it next. He thought they were pigs. Cade was sure to correct him. "They are not pigs, they are ephewants." Whatever they were, the boys had a blast riding them together.
Next was on to the cars. 2 seats with 2 wheels each=no fighting and lots of fun! :)
Cade and I went down the slide next. The carnie at the top was a little strange. Cade was busy picking out which color slide he wanted to go down and all he could talk about to me was what the different colors mean in his country. I still never figured out what he was trying to say or what country he was from. Regardless, the slide was fun and Cade's laugh was worth all the tickets it took to ride!
Next was on to the petting zoo. You would think those animals would have been full from all the people who feed them all day long, but no....they acted like they were starving. The pigs, however, were well overfed. Their stomachs were dragging the ground. They must have been potbelly pigs.
Next was on to the carousel. What can I say....up and down and round and round. Woohoo.
"Hey Daddy!!!!!!"
Cade saw a basketball game he HAD to play. Guess what.....he made it! It took a few shots, but he did it! I thought he made an incredible choice in prizes!
After all that fun we stopped to eat. Tiffany also met us out there to finish out the fun night with us. We stopped by the best funnel cake stand at the rodeo to say hi to friends and of course eat one! :) That was after I downed a yummy burrito, the kids ate a corn dog and Matt had chicken strips. We did a little shopping inside and then headed over to the rodeo.

one of my all time favorite...
another favorite. Poor girl got that calf by the tail!
My new favorite...mutton bustin'
It was Salute to our Troops day. I loved the way they dropped the flag down into the stadium.
And then.....Rascall Flatts!
Cade kept asking when they were going to play Life Is A Highway. It happened to be the LAST song they sang after both boys were asleep. I ended up waking up Cade so he could hear it.

We had such a fun night....spent way too much money, but made memories we won't forget!

Rockets game
The other day we were given some Rockets tickets. I knew Matt and Cade would be thrilled to go. We ended up letting one of our friends and his son go, also. I kept Reid at home. I didn't think he would enjoy the game near as much as Cade and his friend would. Cade LOVED it. He loves Scola, so to see him in person was pretty neat. He's right in the middle of this picture...
I was shocked when I saw this picture. I couldn't believe Cade let Clutch hold him! (It was Green Awareness night or something like that) Cade loves "the bear" now!
Cade looks so tired in this picture. That is what no nap and a late ballgame will do!
While Matt and Cade were gone I decided to take Reid out for a special dinner. He is really into firemen right now so I took him to Firehouse subs. He loved wearing the fireman hat!

this and that
I downloaded my camera the other day and found some pictures I had forgotten about!
Tessa was in town over Valentine's weekend for a study class. The family all went out Valentine's night together. Here are a few pictures.
Tiffany convinced Cade that she was his Valentine.
Tessa and Cade....not sure what Cade's face is all about!
Tessa and Madison
This is Reid's first burger....ever! He's never wanted one before and that night he kept asking for one. I hesitated because I didn't want to order something he wouldn't eat. Thankfully he loved it! It had pickles and ketchup....two of his favorite things!
Tiffany and Zach
This picture cracks me up!
Tiffany and her two little Valentine's.
my sweet little Reid
Afterwards we went to my parents to hang out with Tessa. We bathed the boys and they requested that Pa turn on the fire. Cade has no idea that this picture will come back to haunt him when he is older. I really want to know who taught him to cross his eyes!
Last weekend I got the celebrate a friends little baby. She is doing a very cute pirate room for the baby, so I decided to get pirate petit fors for the party. Didn't they turn out SO cute!

I know that last picture was random, but I did say it was "this and that"!
